As the flag ban was lifted, the thick fog melted away quickly like the ebbing tide of the sea, and soon, Wang Yan's figure clearly appeared outside.
He looked around and saw a person running quickly in his direction: "Brother Wang! How's it going?" Chen Mo said panting as he stopped wielding his sword, looking like he had exhausted his spiritual power.
"It's nothing serious..."
Wang Yan's clothes were slightly damaged, and he must have suffered a lot during this restriction. He sighed and said:
"These two female demon cultivators are really cunning. They deliberately set a trap here, waiting for you and me to come and be tricked. Alas!!"
As a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, he could be carelessly plotted by an early stage monk. This really made Wang Yan lose face.
In particular, Chen Mo was able to fight against the demon cultivator alone and successfully drive her away. In contrast, Wang Yan could only blame the two demon cultivators in order not to completely lose face.
Chen Mo said: "Having said that, Brother Wang, don't be too modest. They are afraid of your strength, so they put the restriction on you. If it were me, I'm afraid you would have been reincarnated by now. .”
"Haha... Brother Chen, don't be polite. You can hold an important position in the sect at a young age, and you are much better than us old men who are half buried in the soil."
Seeing his humble posture, the embarrassment on Wang Yan's face dissipated somewhat: "It's just a pity that the prohibition flag..." Chen Mo deliberately brought the topic to this aspect: "That female cultivator ran too fast. , even the treasure was uprooted by her."
Mentioning this matter, Wang Yan sneered again: "They... huh, they will make a good plan, trap one person first, and then kill another person, and then everything will fall into place. But they underestimated your ability at first strength......"
"Secondly, these two demon cubs are too naive. Even if you give me an extra quarter of an hour, the four blood shadow puppets among them will not last long before they collapse."
"Blood Shadow Puppet?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"The core of that set of forbidden flags is made by sacrificing the flesh and blood souls of at least four monks in the early stages of foundation building. In the small space formed by the prohibition, they are almost immortal and can be awakened every time they fly over. The demonic nature of the monks who entered the formation caused them to be infected with blood poison and gradually lose their minds..."
Wang Yan said in a solemn tone, and Chen Mo also listened carefully. After that, he gave instructions on how to deal with accidentally entering the restricted area.
Even if the ban was not that serious, Wang Yan would still have to take this opportunity to speak more exaggeratedly.
This move also played into Chen Mo's wish. It would not arouse suspicion by asking questions inexplicably, but it would also allow Wang Yan to get off the ground in a reasonable way.
After another conversation, Chen Mo's cultivation level also recovered a little. Night had fallen. He raised his head and glanced at the sky and asked: "Brother Wang, what should we do now?"
"The plan of those two demon cultivators failed. They will probably not show up again to die. This matter is basically over..."
Wang Yan's eyes flashed and he said: "What happened in Chudu must be reported truthfully to the sect. When the new emperor of Chu takes over, the mission of me and senior brother will be completed."
Chen Mo said: "During the day, I passed by and took a look. The Emperor of Chu was completely exhausted. At best, it would only be a matter of tonight and tomorrow. In this case, you guys can do a favor and let him sober up for a while to enjoy the throne. Wouldn’t it be better to elect someone else? It wouldn’t violate your promise not to interfere.”
Wang Yan shook his head: "We already resuscitated his life a year ago. He can't bear the spiritual energy when we attack again, but he will die faster. Let's leave this matter as it is. We don't want to get involved."
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded slightly and said to himself: "However, Chu Chengfeng's matter is not over yet. I will not leave until this matter is resolved."
"The direct participants are dead, and the indirect commanders were not killed and ran away. Not counting them, now only the people behind the scenes have not been punished."
Wang Yan frowned: "Then what do you want to do, to search the souls of all five princes? Let me tell you beforehand that mortals will shed their skin even if they survive my spell. If you are not afraid of a few people from Chu State, As for the sect’s investigation, it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.”
This was Wang Yan's special reminder to see that Chen Mo had a good impression on him before. If it were an unfamiliar monk, he would have treated him coldly.
"Haha..." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I am not that reckless person. Since I can only take action once, I have already thought of the best time to catch him."
"Oh? What else can you do? Let me tell you."
.......
"There's nothing we can do?! What do you palace doctors do for a living! Someone, come on!!"
At the same moment, the night in Chudu was as silent as water, and the eldest brother Hongqi was furious. He angrily scolded the old men who were kneeling in a row outside Chuhuang's door.
The second elder brother Hongyi, the third elder brother Hongyu, the fourth elder brother Hongfeng, and the fifth elder brother Honglan knelt outside the palace gate. Seeing the boss stand up, they also stood up.
With a swish sound, more than a dozen guards in yellow shirts rushed over. Under Hong Qi's instruction, each of them held an old doctor on his arm and soon dragged them out.
"A bunch of trash! If the emperor cannot be cured, you will be buried with him! Pull him down!!"
Hong Qi waved his hand, and the guards dragged away a group of old men who were shouting for mercy without hesitation. When the second prince Hong Lan saw this scene, the veins on his forehead jumped. He did not sit back and ignore it, but stopped him and said: " Wait a moment!!"
After hearing the order, the guards immediately stopped where they were. The leader showed an embarrassed look. It was neither right for them to leave nor for them not to leave.
Hong Lan was not afraid of Hong Qi's gloomy gaze, and said calmly: "Brother, we all know what Huang Ama's situation is now, why do you have to embarrass some people who have already tried their best?"
"Oh? Lao Wu, you want Ama to be freed as soon as possible so that your wish can be fulfilled as soon as possible, right?" Hong Qi reacted quickly and slapped him with one sentence.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Hong Yi, the second elder brother, naturally would not let him bully his brother, who is from the same mother. He said sternly: "We are all the sons of Huang Ama. There are still many people in the world Who doesn’t want his father to live a long life, Wang Shichang!!”
The leader of the guards was shocked when his name was called: "This slave is here."
"Send these imperial doctors back. Your Majesty's deadline is approaching. Don't commit mass murder here. Let's go."
A group of old men in their 60s and 70s looked at the second elder brother Hongyi with tears of gratitude. They did not dare to express their anger for fear of offending the eldest elder brother Hongqi in front of them.
Wang Shichang reluctantly handed over his hands to accuse the elder brother. He still stood in the second elder brother's team and left quickly with a group of guards. After everyone left, the elder brother's face was already gloomy and scary.
"Hong Yi, are you trying to prove something to me?" Hong Qi gritted his teeth and shouted word by word at the second elder brother.
"If the eldest brother thinks it is, then it is." Hong Yi also stared at Hong Qi's face. The two of them looked at each other, tense, neither of them willing to give in.
When the third elder brother Chu Hongyu saw this, he immediately reached out to pull them away. He kindly dissuaded them: "Eldest brother, second brother, stop quarreling in front of Huang Ama's door! What does it look like to let others see this? !”
"Get lost! Don't be so pretentious here!!"
Hong Qi glanced at him coldly: "Don't think that I don't know who did that thing! If it weren't for them, I would definitely kill you!"
"Who are you going to destroy?!" The fourth brother Hongfeng was the fattest among the five brothers. His eyes suddenly widened, and he rubbed his fists and was about to come over to beat the eldest brother Hongqi. Chu Hongyu quickly stopped him. : "Fourth brother, don't be impulsive, he is your eldest brother!!"
"What kind of bullshit, big brother, is living with Emperor Ama's concubine? The entire palace knows about this shameful thing! It's so disgusting, disgusting! Bah!"
It's okay not to mention this matter. When Hongqi was mentioned, he became furious: "You little bastard! Do you dare to say it again! I sent someone to tear your mouth out!!"
"Come on!!" Fourth elder brother Hongfeng shouted wildly, with an increasingly angry look on his face. Second elder brother Hongyi saw that the situation was not good and joined the battle. He said he was dragging his elder brother Hongqi behind his back. However, he and Hong Lan worked together to push him towards Lao Si.
Everyone received more or less a few punches and kicks, and the anger of the princes was also unleashed. At this time, they couldn't tell who was who, and they surrounded them under the cover of night.
Chu Zhengxiong was about to embark on his final journey when he was hazy, but the five brothers outside the door started beating each other. It was not until the manager, Eunuch Li, heard the increasingly loud noise outside that he appeared with a group of young eunuchs to stop him. The five people were completely separated.
"Hey! Brothers, what time are you still arguing here? Your Majesty, I'm still waiting to see you!!"
Eunuch Li didn't dare to go into details. He didn't know who the emperor had designated as the successor. At this time, it would be the best outcome for him not to take sides.
Anyway, no matter which elder brother takes over, he must be useful in his place, and Eunuch Li doesn't have to worry too much about his own future.
"Ah, Huang Ama!!"
After hearing the news, several people rushed to the palace. Prime Minister Jia Yinqiao and Censor Zhang Han had been here for a long time. Their eyes were red, and it seemed that they had just cried bitterly for a while.
The five elder brothers knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Chu Zhengxiong gently shook the yellow ribbon in front of the bed a few times, then rested for a long time. In the end, even the last remaining breath of life fell silent.
Eunuch Li's body was trembling. He walked to the emperor's side and checked his breathing. After it was confirmed that there was no breathing, he took a few steps back in a panic and stammered nervously: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Returned to heaven!!"
As soon as these words came out, each of the five elder brothers finally showed a look of relief on their faces, but it only passed by for a moment. They quickly became sad and cried non-stop while holding Chu Zhengxiong's body.
"...Don't worry, Emperor Ama! We all know that you are speechless. You shook the ribbon, which means that you let me inherit the throne. Alas! Hongqi, I have little talent and little knowledge. How can I take on such a responsibility?" What a heavy responsibility!!”
After that, the eldest brother burst into tears, which made the other four brothers dumbfounded.
I have seen shameless people, and I have never seen such denials. Fourth Brother Hongfeng immediately retorted with a tearful tone: "Brother, you are so sad that your eyes are wet with tears! Huang Ama shook his head three times, which meant that he wanted Third Brother to take over." The throne, third brother, have you seen it?!"
"I saw it!!" Hong Yu ignored Hong Feng, and he said sadly to the dead Emperor Chu: "Amma, just feel free to hand over the country to me. I will inherit your legacy and carry forward the Kingdom of Chu. of!"
The fifth elder brother Honglan couldn't sit still anymore: "Stop farting! Can't you see it? In terms of erudition and political affairs, my second brother Hongyi is a well-deserved best candidate to hand over Chu State to you. A few wimps are the greatest insult to Emperor Ama!!"
"Hong Lan, who do you think is a wimp?!" "It's you!" "It seems I didn't convince you just now, do you want to try again?" "Come on!!"
Another prince started shouting. Seeing that several people were about to fight in front of Chu Zhengxiong's body, Eunuch Li quickly stopped them and said, "My brothers, stop making noise in front of the late emperor. How can he leave with peace of mind?" !”
"Yes, Prime Minister Jia and Yu Shi Zhang are still here! You also saw the late emperor shaking the ribbon, right?" Hong Qi changed the subject, instantly making the two elderly men freeze on the spot.
